Every story has a protagonist and an antagonist but in this film there are more than one of each. If you had to choose the main protagonist and antagonist, who would you choose?
If I were to choose the main protagonist in the film “The Green Mile” I’d pick Paul Edgecombe as the main protagonist as Paul has one of the major roles within the film. Paul plays the main role as the superintendent and death row supervisor of The Green Mile. Paul was very liked within the film as he was kind, calm and happy to help anyone at The Green Mile.
If I were to choose the main antagonist in the movie “The Green Mile” I’d pick Percy Wetmore in the film. Percy’s role within the film is a Prison Guard of the Green Mile. Percy was disliked by many of the guards working on the Green Mile because of his actions, but the prison guards cannot do anything about it as he is the nephew of the governor’s wife.

In the film The Green Mile (E block) is a place that no convict wants to end up in as The Green Mile could be the last mile of a convict’s life. A convict would be prosecuted in front of their family and peers in the name of the law, if a convict was found to be guilty the convict would be sentenced to death by electricity flowing though their body until the convict was dead. An example of irony within the film The Green Mile was when Percy was asked to leave The Green Mile and go apply to work at the mental institute as Percy doesn’t fit in at The Green Mile due to his attitude and his ways towards the other inmates. John Coffey also knew that Percy and Wild Bill were both very bad men so John Coffey gave Percy the bugs which usually helped others. John Coffey’s bugs had helped others in the film such as saving Mr Jingles but this time the bugs had made Percy to start shooting and killing Wild Bill and soon after the bugs made Percy incapable to talk or respond normally. Percy was later put in the mental institute as a patient, not as a
